<A NAME="TI5963"></A><p><b>SoapConnection</b> is
used to create the Soap_proxy<b> </b>object
with connection options that you set using SoapConnection object
methods. Once a proxy object for a Web service is created, the client
application can begin accessing the Web service. To invoke a Web
service method, the proxy object must contain the following information:<A NAME="TI5964"></A>
<ul>
<li class=fi>End point of service, obtained from a WSDL file</li>
<li class=ds>Name space definition used in the SOAP method call</li>
<li class=ds>Any structure definition, when applicable</li>
<li class=ds>An instance variable for each returned structure
array, since all returned arrays are <b>any</b> </li>
<li class=ds>One or more SOAP methods and corresponding alias
strings
</li>
</ul>
</p>
